MLB draft is a couple months out. Not a good year to drop two spots in the lottery as there seem to be a consensus top 4 picks. If those 4 go before we're on the clock I really like Drew Burress. He's a bit underrated right now IMO
@Bucfish67 I'll never get too mad about taking a big swing draft day, but it does depend on the board. Lackey/Flora likely aren't superstars but if they fall to the Pirates, I imagine that's the pick (though I'm lower on Lackey than most)
@Bucfish67 Yeah I feel that, but I do think the power is legit. He's a spark plug out there, ton of energy, fun to watch, plays hard. 5 is an awkward spot to pick though.
I wouldn't hate Lombard at all, but it is a high-risk play, closest thing to Konnor this class has
Braxton Ashcraft has a career 2.80 ERA. Since the date of his his MLB debut, that ERA ranks 6th in MLB.
1. Christopher Sanchez
2. Paul Skenes
3. Tarik Skubal
4. Cam Schlittler
5. Hunter Brown
Esmerlyn Valdez (OF, FCL) is a name for Pirates fans to keep an eye on. He went 3/5 today with a 2B and BB. He's hitting .371 with a 1.089 OPS. Bradenton's outfield is crowded but he's 19 so I'd like to see him promoted soon
Konnor’s Clutch: I’m sick of watching Philly beat Pittsburgh. So how about this. If Konnor Griffin hits a HR vs PHI in this series. And the Bucs take 2 of 3 or sweep. I’ll give away 5 Konnor Griffin jerseys. Just 1) Retweet this. And 2) follow me on here. Philly sucks!
